New Delhi [India], December 9 : The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings have been adjourned till 2 pm amid ruckus in the Parliament for the 12th day of the winter session on Monday.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said, "I find the functioning of the House because of disorder is not possible. The House is adjourned till 2 pm."
The Lok Sabha was adjourned till 12 noon earlier in the day after opposition MPs began raising different matters during the Question Hour.
Lower House Speaker Om Birla expressed objection to the opposition members and adjourned the House till 12 noon before adjourning the proceedings again till 2 pm.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, earlier while speaking during the ongoing Winter session of Parliament, expressed concern over the disruption of House proceedings, stating that the current session began as the country entered the 25th year of adopting the Indian Constitution.
He called on all members of Parliament to respect the sanctity of the House and avoid actions that hinder its functioning. He emphasized that no one should paralyze the House, underlining the importance of parliamentary procedures and the need for constructive debate.
"We started our current session by entering into the fourth quarter of a century of adoption of the Indian constitution. The entire week the House could not function. No one should paralyse the House," said Rajya Sabha Chairman Dhankhar.
Dhankhar's statement reflects concerns over frequent disruptions that have marred the functioning of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha in recent sessions.
The twelfth day of the winter session saw opposition MPs including Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi held a protest over the Adani matter, at the Parliament premises.
Rahul Gandhi joined Opposition MPs in their protest over the Adani matter. Members of the Trinamool Congress and Samajwadi Party did not participate in this protest.
Earlier in the day, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi said that the party has submitted repeated letters to the Speaker to initiate privilege against MP Nishikant Dubey.
The first session of the winter Parliament commenced on November 25, with both Houses getting adjourned fairly early due to disruptions. The winter session will go on till December 20.
